WAEC Shuts Adventist Day SHS Center And Relocates Candidates To Kumasi Office Over Exam Malpractice


 The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has evacuated candidates from Adventist Day Senior High School in Kumasi to its regional office following the discovery of extensive cheating during the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination.

Mayor Richard Ofori Agyemang Boadi confirmed the decision on Thursday (4 September) during a monitoring tour of test centers in the Kumasi metropolitan.


The relocation was intended to preserve the exams' credibility.

Although officials have yet to offer any details regarding the event, all 936 candidates have been reallocated to write their English Language paper under strict supervision at the WAEC office.



"The Regional Director has been notified, and we are currently investigating... "[For the time being], the students have been bused to the WAEC center to take the examination, which is very unfortunate," said David Oppong, Kumasi Metro Director of Education.

More than 15,000 applicants from 14 public senior high schools in Kumasi are participating in this year's West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

The Mayor of Kumasi visited numerous schools to gather firsthand information and motivate the candidates.

Examination misconduct is a recurring problem in Ghana. Last year, WAEC suspended results at multiple centers across the country due to similar breaches.

The Kumasi Mayor's visit to majority of the schools is intended to gather firsthand information and motivate the candidates.
